Reduced Basis Methods (RBM)

Reduced Basis Methods are a model reduction tool for parameterized partial differential equations.

Focus:

• RBM for time-periodic problems
• RBM for space-time formulations
• RBM with adaptive offline computations
• RBM using wavelets
• (Time-dependent) parameter functions
• Parameter dependent domains
• Development of rigorous a posteriori error bounds for time-periodic problems

Time-Periodic PDEs

• Space-time formulations
• Existence and uniqueness
